ICYMI: Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford announced that he will challenge President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in the 2020 presidential race.
Christal Hayes and Kirk BrownWASHINGTON – Former South Carolina governor and two-time U.S. congressman Mark Sanford announced Sunday that he would challenge President Donald Trump for the Republican Party nomination in the 2020 presidential race.
"This isn't about weakening the president or electing Democrats," Sanford said."In political movements, people circle the wagons. That's never been my personal style of politics." Sanford said his primary focus is Republicans have abandoned a debate over the rising national debt, which Sanford believes will, if unattended, cause a financial collapse on the scale of the Great Depression.
At the time, Sanford was considered a possible 2012 presidential candidate, but the affair derailed his career and unraveled his marriage.More:Despite his fall from political grace in 2009, Sanford managed to win the Charleston-area House District 1 seat in 2013. In that time, Sanford broke off an engagement to his Argentinian mistress and again faced political backlash for personal actions when his ex-wife accused him of trespassing.
